Miami Shores Real Estate Market Report for 2021

Record-breaking year for Miami Shores does not even begin to explain it. The Demand continues to overpower the lack of inventory and prices have increased like no other time in Miami Shores’ history. The concept of a real estate bubble is a fallacy and only for those that do not understand simple laws of economics and we will continue to see price increases in 2022.

Miami Shores’ sellers are not the only ones benefiting, but neighboring communities are also cashing in. Some buyers are hesitating, waiting for better timing but most realize the best time is now since they may be pushed out of a continuously appreciating market that they may not be able to afford in the future.

Interest rates are expected to rise but will continue to be low. Inventory will also increase a bit, but not enough to satisfy demand. No matter if you are a buyer or seller in this market, you need to be ready, you need to strategize and you need to work with the right real estate team of professionals.

Without further ado, here are this year’s stats.
